Smashburger, a better-burger fast-casual restaurant with 235 corporate and franchise locations, has partnered with jack and annie's to launch a new plant-based burger made from jackfruit in all locations across the U.S. starting Feb. 14, 2024.
The relationship between Smashburger and jack and annie's began with a limited-time menu test conducted last summer within select Smashburger locations in Colorado, New York, New Jersey and Chicago. Following the menu test's success and positive feedback from consumers, the burger chain decided to make the plant-based burger a permanent menu item across all locations.
